The construction of the flow duration curve and the regionalization parameters analysis in the northwest of China

Daily runoff is the data to estimate the water resources in a river. In many catchments, the daily discharge is not well observed. Flow duration curve is an important characteristic of daily runoff, and important for the design of water conservancy projects. In the ungauged catchments, the evaluatio...

In many catchments, the daily discharge is not well observed. Flow duration curve is an important characteristic of daily runoff, and important for the design of water conservancy projects. In the ungauged catchments, the evaluation of distribution functions and the parameters of flow duration curve is a helpful method to understand the characteristics of the flow.

The evaluation shows that, among the 11 distribution functions, the log normal model is the most suitable model to construct flow duration curves of 19 hydrological stations.
